Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue: The company reported $0 revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, consistent with the prior year, as it continues to develop its B2B platform.
• Restructuring Costs: A significant one-time charge of $806,432 was recorded in Q3 2025 related to workforce reductions, IT department restructuring, and costs associated with a proposed business combination. No such costs were incurred in the prior year.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses increased by 22.2% in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024, driven primarily by the restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring, core operating expenses decreased due to reduced sales and marketing spend and lower general and administrative costs.
• Capitalization: Software development costs capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $512,277, compared to $787,336 in the prior year period.
• Equity Structure: The company completed a 1-for-17 reverse stock split on March 28, 2025. All Series B Preferred Stock was converted to Common Stock by the end of Q3 2025.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Going Concern: Management has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Current cash and recent financing ($5.1M in 2025 YTD and $2.1M subsequent to quarter-end) are projected to fund operations only into the third quarter of 2026. Additional funding is required to complete product development and scale.
• Proposed Business Combination: On August 5, 2025, Auddia entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to combine with Thramann Holdings, LLC. The transaction would result in Auddia becoming a public holding company (ticker: MCFN) with Holdings' equity holders receiving an 80% interest. The exclusivity period has been extended pending regulatory and shareholder approvals.
• Strategic Shift: The company is pivoting to a B2B SaaS model via the "Discovr Radio" platform, expected to launch in early 2026. This platform will allow artists and labels to pay for guaranteed plays on AM/FM radio streams.
• Financing Activities: The company raised funds through an Equity Line Common Stock Purchase Agreement (amended to $50M capacity) and an At-the-Market (ATM) Sales Agreement. Subsequent to the quarter-end, an additional $2.1M was raised via the ATM facility.
• Risks: Key risks include the inability to raise additional capital, the uncertainty of the proposed business combination, limited operating history, and dependence on the successful commercialization of the faidr and Discovr platforms.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $2.7M cash balance and the $7.2M total financing secured to cover operations through Q3 2026.
• Business Combination Status: Monitor the progress of the LOI with Thramann Holdings, including the definitive agreement, shareholder approval, and regulatory clearance.
• Revenue Model Transition: Assess the timeline and market reception for the B2B "Discovr Radio" platform launch anticipated in early 2026.
• Dilution: Review the impact of ongoing equity issuances under the Equity Line and ATM facilities on existing shareholders.
• Going Concern Mitigation: Evaluate the specific plans management has outlined to secure future funding if current resources are depleted.
